There are only 3 days in life--yesterday,today andtomorrow.
【Xian’er says so: “Understanding life in the present.”】
Xian’er overate ice cream and overslept again.
He missed chanting sutras, skipped the morning class, and did not get to hiswork of cleaning toilets.
Again, he got yelled at by Shifu and regret what he has done.
He was in great sorrow and it seemed only eating more ice cream would help.
He could not get out of bed, had no strength to attend to sutra chanting norclean the toilet.
Heregret it so muchthat he could accept no more criticism from Shifu.
Xian’er asked shifu what to do.
Shifu gave him some advice.
Xian’er did what Shifu asked him to do.
He got up and went to sutra chanting;
Afterwards he attended the class and went on to clean toilets.
Even though he was yelled at by Shifu again, all he felt was delight.
Below are quoted from my Shifu’s new book, Say Good Things—Master Xuecheng’sinsight on the path to speaking like a Buddha.
Regret is an outcome.
Often we blame ourselves for this outcome and let the blame consume ourenergy.
In fact, there are only 3 days in life--yesterday,today and tomorrow.
In order not to regret, we must work hard to seize the present.
Changing the causes, effects will naturally be changed.
一个人的生命只有三天——昨天、今天、明天
【贤二如是说:在当下体悟人生】
贤二又吃多了冰激凌,早晨又没起床,
念经又没去,上课也没去,马桶也没有去刷,
又被师父批评了,心里老后悔了。
太后悔了,只能再多吃几个冰激凌,
后悔的更起不来床了,
后悔的没有力气念经了,
没有力气刷马桶了,
后悔的都听不进师父的批评了。
贤二问师父,这可怎么办?
师父给贤二开示了一下,
贤二依教奉行,起床念经去了,
念完经去上课了,上完课去刷马桶了,
刷完马桶被师父批一顿,法喜充满。
以下来自我师父的《好好说话》
后悔是一个果,
我们往往因为这个果,不断自责,
所以越来越没有力量。
实际上,一个人的生命真正讲起来就是三天
——昨天、今天、明天。
要想不后悔,
只有在因上努力,脚踏实地地把握当下。
从当下去改变因,果自然就会改变。
